Inefficiencies of Excel

Excel Spreadsheet Inefficiencies

• Disorganized, multiple entries for Dr. Peg Black.

• Tedious cutting and pasting required for reports on Dr. Peg Black.

• Difficult tracking of monthly, weekly and daily appointments

• Not multi-user• Tedious data entry

ADVANTAGES of Database Storage in Access: Data Entry Screens

• Data Entry Screens

produce list of valid doctor names

• No room for data entry

mistakes

Look up list Of Doctors Names

6

ADVANTAGES of Database Storage in Access: Data Entry Screens

• Data Entry Screens

produce list of valid patient names too.
